Shiloh

Shiloh, Waggytail the Jack Russell

Shiloh turned 14 on 19/10. She looks younger, remains active and loves life. Shiloh has been desexed and vaccinated by Paws & Recover’s vet. Unfortunately her owner died before her, which is why she is looking for a home.

Shiloh is a white/tan Jack Russell. Her favourite thing’s to do are: sniffing her environment when out for relatively slow walkies, eating healthy food, spending time with humans of all ages, brief meetings with new dogs, the odd faster walk here and there, being included in every thing.

Shiloh isn't a lap dog, but likes very much to sit next to you on her lounge. She likes to know where her humans are, but also AOK in her own company. She does not have separation anxiety (She has been left alone for small periods by myself, and for longer periods by the pet sitter I’ve used regularly. On your departure she is accepting, will happily go to her bed, recognises the routine of me getting ready to depart. I don’t personally think she’s a dog to be left alone all day, as like all Jack’s, she thrives on company, mental stimulation, walkies for sniffing)

Shiloh does not bark indoors, or at noises per say. She does become alert to the noises of possums, birds, humans etc (so a normal doggie) She is capable of barking but we’re talking a couple of times in a week, or in greeting you.

Shiloh likes to come to the front door when delivery drivers arrive, the postie comes to the door etc. She does not bark at them, but 100% if I opened the door wide, she would be out and down the stairs to the building front door to head off on a walk. Shiloh is not under any circumstances to be off lead outside of her home; has Jack Russell selective hearing. She will eventually come when called but no way would I allow her to wander off lead.

Shiloh quite likes meeting other dog’s. She’s self-confident, assertive, engaging, frisky, depending upon the other dog. As well as being generally friendly she is very JRT in that she’ll end the meeting, relatively quickly, and go back to sniffing at a time of her choosing, (display the indifference those of us know in JRT’s). Shiloh is not a submissive dog; very capable of standing her ground when much, much larger dog’s race up to say Hello. I have seen her reactive to one dog; they were on our property here (front landing of block of flats) so being territorial.

Shiloh displays no aggression to dog’s or humans, but can be jealous of other dog’s receiving attention.

If you are able to give this grand old lady a safe place to see out her senior years, you will not be dissapointed
